I have a cupboard of unplayed Xbox games, many of which are supposed to be amazing narrative experiences — I only played an hour of the first Dead Space, for instance, and I have all three in the series, and had a major plot point spoiled for me in the years since I started; I never finished GTA 4, and am on my way to never getting past the mucking-around-and-escaping-from-cops loop in V; I haven’t even started on Bioshock 2, Red Dead Redemption, and Gears of War 2, 3, and Judgment. And that’s without thinking about the faithfully categorised “Unplayed” list I have on Steam.

Maybe someday, I guess, or maybe I’ll just go get the endings spoiled for me.
